Tirapazamine (TPZ) is a bioreductive agent with selective antitumor activity under hypoxic conditions; however, its systemic toxicity and delivery efficiency limit its clinical application. This study aimed to develop a TPZ delivery system based on nanobubbles (NBs), combining ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce adverse effects. TPZ-NBs were fabricated using a high-shear dispersion method and characterized for their physicochemical properties, encapsulation efficiency, and drug release profiles. In vitro studies evaluated the effects of TPZ-NBs on hepatoma cell proliferation and migration under hypoxic conditions. Using a rabbit VX2 liver cancer model, we compared the control group, TACE group, TPZ-NBs + TACE group, and TPZ-NBs + UTMD + TACE group in terms of tumor necrosis, drug delivery efficiency, and safety profiles. TPZ-NBs demonstrated favorable encapsulation efficiency (35.81
T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing provides a novel platform for insight into and characterization of intricate T-cell profiles, advancing the understanding of tumor immune heterogeneity. Recently, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with systemic therapy has become the recommended regimen for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The regulation of the immune microenvironment after TACE and its impact on tumor progression and recurrence has been a focus of research. By examining and tracking fluctuations in the TCR repertoire following combination treatment, novel perspectives on the modulation of the tumor microenvironment post-TACE and the underlying mechanisms governing tumor progression and recurrence can be gained. Clarifying the distinctive metrics and dynamic alterations of the TCR repertoire within the context of combination therapy is imperative for understanding the mechanisms of anti-tumor immunity, assessing efficacy, exploiting novel treatments, and further advancing precision oncology in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we initially summarized the fundamental characteristics of TCR repertoire and depicted immune microenvironment remodeling after TACE. Ultimately, we illustrated the prospective applications of TCR repertoires in TACE combined with systemic therapy.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:To develop and validate a nomogram for the prediction of stent dysfunction after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.MATERIALS AND METHODS:From 2012 to 2020, 355 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis who underwent TIPS placements were enrolled in this study. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to determine independent risk factors for the nomogram construction. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the prediction model were assessed by using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration scatter plots, and a decision curve analysis (DCA).RESULTS:Independent factors for TIPS stent dysfunction included diabetes, previous splenectomy, the shunting branch of the portal vein, and stent position, which were used to construct the nomogram. The AUC values in the training and validation cohorts were 0.817 (95% CI: 0.731-0.903) and 0.804 (95% CI: 0.673-0.935), respectively, which suggested a good predictive ability. The calibration curves in both cohorts revealed good agreement between the predictions and actual observations. The DCA curve indicated that when the threshold probability ranged from 2% to 88%, the nomogram could provide clinical usefulness and a net benefit.CONCLUSION:The nomogram that we developed could be conveniently used to predict TIPS stent dysfunction in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.

Background:Patients who survive initial esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EVB) are at an increased risk of recurrent bleeding and death; however, a reliable predictive model is lacking. We aimed to develop a model for rebleeding prediction in patients with EVB after modified percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization (PTVE) with cyanoacrylate.Methods:A total of 122 patients with EVB who underwent PTVE from January 2015 to November 2020 were enrolled. Multivariate logistic analyses were conducted to determine independent risk factors for nomogram construction. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the nomogram were compared with the Model for End-stage Liver Disease score (MELD) and the Child-Pugh model. Risk stratification was performed according to the nomogram.Results:Rebleeding within 3 months of PTVE occurred in 32 patients (26.2%). Independent rebleeding indicators included prior history of endoscopic therapy, Child-Pugh score, partial splenic embolization, and creatinine level. The nomogram incorporating these four predictors achieved excellent calibration and discriminatory abilities, with a concordance index of 0.85, which was confirmed to be 0.83 through bootstrapping validation. The nomogram demonstrated superior discrimination and clinical applicability than the MELD and Child-Pugh models. As shown in the Kaplan-Meier curves, high-risk patients had a high probability of rebleeding (P < 0.001).Conclusions:The creatinine-based nomogram had a superior ability to predict rebleeding after PTVE in patients with EVB. Risk stratification may help identify high-risk patients and lead to the earlier implementation of aggressive treatments and formulation of intensive follow-up plans.
A 75-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of right-sided maxillofacial swelling and difficulty with opening the mouth and chewing. Physical examination revealed a 4-cm × 5-cm × 5-cm, dark-red, surface-eroded, bleeding right upper oral mass (Fig 1). Biopsy and pathological examination revealed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Computed tomography (CT) showed bone destruction and a 6.1-cm × 4.7-cm × 4.3-cm soft tissue mass in the right maxilla with moderately heterogeneous enhancement (Fig 2).
With the development of detection methods, various biomarkers of liver cancer have been detected constantly, which is of great significance for the early diagnosis and real-time monitoring of liver cancer after treatment. Based on the differences in the sensitivity and specificity of different biomarkers, exploration of the value of diverse biomarkers in the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of liver cancer can provide an important reference for clinicians to scientific and rational application of distinct biomarkers.
